Aaron Ramdsale: Couldn't do much about the Fulham goal and kept the scores level with a magnificent save from a Mitrovic header at a corner. 7.
Ben White: Didn't offer much in the way of attack going forward in the first half, but was defensively solid and showed his versatility by seamlessly switching to a back three in the second. 6.
William Saliba: A confident display from the Frenchman against a difficult opponent. He was composed at all times and even managed a Cruyff turn away from pressure at one juncture. 7.

Gabriel: An absolute horror moment to allow Aleksandar Mitrovic the opportunity to score for Fulham. Looked rattled after that when dealing with the Serbian. However, he popped up with the winning goal at the end to ensure the mistake remains a footnote in history. 6.
Kieran Tierney: With Zinchenko out this felt like Tierney's chance to remind everyone why he was so important in years gone by. He didn't really take it and looked lost at times when coming infield instead of playing his usual overlapping game. 5.
Mohamed Elneny: Not the kind of performance that gives you the confidence he can replicate Thomas Partey's role when the Ghanaian is unavailable. Nothing particularly catastrophic, but far too safe in possession at all times. 6.
Granit Xhaka: An all round box-to-box display from the Swiss who was impressive again. Got forward well to help the attack and performed a more disciplined role to a high level also after a second half formation switch. 7.
Martin Odegaard: A talismanic display from the Norwegian who lived up to the captain's armband he was wearing. Never let his head drop even at 1-0 and didn't let the rest of the team's either. A true showing of leadership. 9.
Bukayo Saka: Probably his best game of the season even if he couldn't impact via a goal. Caused problems with his directness and could have scored in the first half but for a good save from Leno. 7.
Gabriel Jesus: A quieter day for the Brazilian who had flashes but wasn't as impactful as he has been recently. Looked to be frustrated as the game went on and got in an unnecessary scuffle with Palhinha. 6.
Gabriel Martinelli: Nice and direct throughout and caused problems for the Fulham backline. His set piece delivery wasn't as good as it has been, but he popped up with one that counts right at the end. 7.
Substitutes -
Eddie Nketiah: Made an impact after coming off the bench. Caused problems for the Fulham backline with his energy and intensity. Might even have scored himself on occasions. 7.
Takehiro Tomiyasu: Came on too late to influence the game. n/a.
Rob Holding: Came on too late to influence the game. n/a.
